Rhonda Driver testified Wednesday, saying she called 911 after seeing a silver pickup truck on the side of road.

“I passed her twice and there's a girl like, slumped over in the pickup truck onto the window inside the cab,” Driver in the 911 call.

Iowa Department of Transportation Capt. Tom Bruun was first on the scene. He said when he ran the truck’s license plate, it registered the truck to a man with a warrant who is believed to be armed and dangerous.

When other officers arrived, they found Proplesch battered and handcuffed.

“I said, ‘Show me your hands, weapons’ (for the) safety of anyone there. At that time she shouted she couldn't because her hands were cuffed,” said Trooper Bryan Funk.

Law enforcement officers said they used bolt cutters to get them off her wrists.

“She had been beaten so severely she couldn't tell us her name. In 15 years, it's probably one of the worst beatings I’ve seen,” said Trooper Tim Sieleeman.

Prosecutors said officers, troopers and medics all asked Proplesh who did this to her. They said she said the same thing to three people.

“A man named Bryan,” said Eric Hallagan, medical personnel.

Testimony resumes Thursday morning. Prosecutors said its key witness, Proplesch, will take the stand Thursday.

Proplesh will be questioned by both the prosecution and Bey, who is representing himself and denied a public attorney.
